    The paranoid in me thinks they "found" the spy courtesy the Trump White House.

    Glad I'm not the only one who thought this. Go figure shortly after Trump starts getting classified info this spy is suddenly found out.

    It may be a small mercy that Trump doesn't get briefings from the intelligence community now you say that.

    Funny they didn't have that discussion about the Hilary email stories

    almost 50% of trump voters would be okay with him using a private e-mail server

    So the US government is going to turn over all their spies to the Russian government? Clever. I have this little feeling, that the Russians won't return the favor.

    Don't need spies when you have the top spot locked down.

    That NYT story is full of delicious details. It's hard to choose a paragraph to quote.
    Both Novaya Gazeta, an outlet for the liberal opposition, and Tsargrad, a hard-line nationalist publication, reported that the F.S.B. made a brutal show of his arrest.

    Agents arrested Mr. Mikhailov with a theatrical touch, placing a bag over his head in the midst of a congress of senior intelligence agency officers in Moscow and leading him from the room, the two publications reported.

    “The arrest was certainly colorful,” Tsargrad’s report said. “Mikhailov was led from the congress of F.S.B. colleagues with a bag on his head.”

    the fact that the USSR is making a show of these treason charges makes me think that the connection between Russia and Trump is actually real

    The hints suggested that the Russian government may be signaling that it might, however indirectly through a treason trial, reveal details of election hacking, which would have the potential to damage Mr. Trump’s administration.

    But there is another explanation, if something of a counterintuitive one: Documenting a Russian role in the electoral hacks could also serve Moscow’s foreign policy interests by underscoring the extent and power of the Kremlin’s reach in the world.

    This is a pretty cool story, I have to admit. It's a got spies, hacking, bags, a man who lives in a remote Siberian village.

    If it is to destabilize Trump's administration that is a really good translation of Machiavelli Putin is reading.

    Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

    An ex-KGB chief suspected of helping the former MI6 spy Christopher Steele to compile his dossier on Donald Trump may have been murdered by the Kremlin and his death covered up, it's been claimed.

    Oleg Erovinkin, a former general in the KGB and its successor the FSB, was found dead in the back of his car in Moscow on December 26 in mysterious circumstances.

    Mr Erovinkin was a key aide to Igor Sechin, a former deputy prime minister and now head of Rosneft, the state-owned oil company, who is repeatedly named in the dossier.

    Nothing suspicious here. Move along, citizens.
